This was also the age in which occurred an
event of such Importance to the world that all
modern dates are reckoned from that event, al,
event of such Importance that it has changed
the philosophical and moral sentiments of the
world and changed the whole object of human
life. The birth of Christ took place in an OBJ.
scurc corner of the Roman Empire, and the
miraculous displays of his power were such
that in less than three centuries after his death
the Christian religion became the religion OF
the Roman Empire and was thus spread over
the world
Augustus died in II a. ID. AS has been al
ready seen the Roman government was insult
ticient for the government of 1o0,000.0 900 hui
man beings. 1t was only when under the gov
ernment of some powerful monarch that the
people enjoyed peace. Hence the Roman En-
pirc underwent laaMy vicisstudes before its
fall n 41G \. u. This subject Of ancient civil
iHation, the dark ages that follow. and the rise
OF Re modern nations is worthy of our earnest
study and careful consideration.

only possible chance of getting there in time.
The order was given to advance on the double

narrow causeway somewhat retarded their

Just as the first portion of the attackin. force

to be otherwise, and now all that remained to
the defenders was to make as brave fight as
possible against the approaching forces, and.
when the time came for withdrawal, to retreat
as best they could, endeavOring to keep their
losses down to the smallest figure by taking
every advantage of the naturally strong de-
fences the ground afforded.
1t was now quite plainly apparent that the real
attack was to be made on the left, as men were
advancing troops, and, the artillery being in
place, the fire became so warm that the defend
crs began to gradually give ground, and seek
shelter behind the protecting walls to the rear.
